Glycine data from LIS
Type | Family |
Description | This entry represents a protein family which is homologous to the HlyD membrane fusion protein of type I secretion systems. The genes encoding these proteins within prokaryotic genomes are associated with genes encoding a novel class of microcin (small bacteriocin) which has a propeptide region related to nitrile hydratase. The bacteriocin has been designated as Nitrile Hydratase Propeptide Microcin, or NHPM. On this basis, therefore, proteins in this entry are designated as NHPM bacteriocin system secretion proteins. Some, but not all, NHPM-class putative microcins belong to the TOMM (thiazole/oxazole modified microcin) class as assessed by the presence of the scaffolding protein and/or cyclodehydratase in the same gene clusters. |
